Commissioners create administrative lieutenant and full-time jail court officer in sheriff's office
Summary
The Grayson County Commissioners Court approved creation of an administrative lieutenant position and a full-time jail court officer in the sheriff's office, funded by eliminating other positions and unused salary funds, which county staff said should be budget neutral.
The Grayson County Commissioners Court on Jan. 13 authorized the sheriff's office to create an administrative lieutenant position and a full-time jail court officer, with funding coming from eliminated positions and unused salary funds.
A sheriff's office representative told the court the administrative lieutenant would take many office duties away from the patrol lieutenant so that patrol oversight could receive more attention. The representative said the department plans to combine two positions into one and use unused salary funds so the change should be a "budget wash."
Commissioners moved and seconded the request and approved it by voice vote. The transcript shows no roll-call vote or individual vote tallies.
The court's action allows the sheriff's office to proceed with changing its internal staffing structure; details about effective dates and hiring timelines were not specified in the meeting record.
